I have thoughts about ‘Her’
And feelings. But Dan’s done such a good job of pointing out that EVERYONE HAS I feel guilty typing most of them. Just one, then… A moment of non-diegetic clarity, as I watch one of several montages...

MERICA
I’ve been back almost a week. Heck of a trip. San Francisco was brilliant, thanks in no small part to Frances and Alex (as soon as I’ve processed photos of our road trip to Point Reyes they’ll be up),...

It’s the basics, galleries!
Cursor on video, at New Museum. Dust on sculpture, MoMA. Come ON! Dust the artwork, don’t leave the cursor onscreen… do it properly! This isn’t London – you have people paying to see this stuff.

Learning to put words in boxes
Mark spent an afternoon teaching me things about InDesign. It was brilliant fun. Enough to get me comfortable with the tool and learning some basics. Pretty quickly I was happy enough putting things...

Happy accident
These photos of the Tour de France are, individually, totally shit. But I really like how they look side by side on Flickr.

Writing about walking
Hello RSS brigade. I’ve started writing about walking. It’s not really for this blog, but if you’re interested, it’s over at awayforawalk.tumblr.com. If you’re going to start anywhere start at the...

A distant roar, moving closer
On Sunday, James treated me to the delights of the Farnborough Airshow. It was absolutely mad – like fireworks in the daytime. Noisy, brash, smelly and brilliant. Far and away the thing that made the...

Reading poems made by maths
A while back I wrote about playing around with tweets, Markov chains and the shipping forecast to make little audio experiments. This is the second part of that. Probably not much point reading on if...

“Matthew Sheret is typing”
Taken by James. I really like Slack – nice little place to drop in and out of on a workday. I don’t use it nearly as well as I should.

Terms we don’t need to define
I thoroughly enjoyed Laptops and Looms. Brilliant to get outside of my head, outside of London, and thinking about bits of culture and technology that I don’t have a professional excuse to anymore....

Thirty stories on thirty postcards
Like I said, one last thirty day thing left in me. But this one I’m keeping offline. Nat’s started up 30 days of stories, which got me thinking of an alternative version. A cover version. 30 stories on...

McDo
Honestly, I quite like the new McDonalds ads. I haven’t seen the TV campaign (I assume there is one) and I’m sure the radio version’s a bit shit, but the billboards are neat. In them, I recognise the...

Rescued moments
“Some of these images are so familiar to me, so much a part of my little history, that much like the songs I have written, these photographs have become the props around which my memories collect.” I...

Culture about culture
Somewhat predictably, I loved 20,000 Days on Earth and The Possibilities Are Endless. Beautiful films that’ll be filed away under ‘music documentary’ when they do that brilliant thing of slipping...

2014: Foxes, exploration, walking, laughing
A hard year to write about, but I ended far happier than I started. Traveled more than ever before, moved into my “first home”, sold my “first home”, got dumped, fell in love, went to therapy, made an...
